Been making smoothies since I was 14yrs old, these are nice combo ingredients, but for someone who's busy like me, I've tapered my smoothies down to 5 fast ingredients. You can buy pass and save A LOT of money and just buy chia seeds instead of fish oil, hemp & etc....it expands like tapioca and use fiber 1 cereal. Not to mention save a lot more money. Sugar free pudding thickens smoothies as well as give flavor. If you have the time to do this Great, but for a busy person like me, No way. I even take my own to the gym and shake it with my ingredients to drink at least 30 minutes after the gym.
